Chapter 31
Levy’s mother was coming from a humble family if it wasn’t for his grandparents he may not have
married her, After their marriage his parents always insulted his wife and children, even when he took
over the position of the family head they never respected her nor did they give her the position of the
mistress of the Anthony family until his son took over at the age of seventeen and made his position
clear.
Levy's ruthless nature had instilled fear in the members of the Anthony family, causing them to become
more affectionate towards him and his wife. They believed that they could now approach Levy and
speak on their behalf, knowing the consequences if they crossed him.
Levy's father couldn't help but wish that he had possessed the same heartlessness and ruthlessness
as his son. He also wished that his wife wouldn't be as fearful of the Anthony family as she currently
was. Despite her background from a humble village, he took pride in the fact that his daughter-in-law
knew her rights and how to protect herself from the deceitful members of the Anthony family. However,
he also felt a sense of sorrow for her, knowing that she would inevitably become a target of the cunning
and malicious wolves within the family.
After the shock had settled, the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Anthony bid farewell to the younger generation
and retreated to their bedroom. They were unable to refute anything Levy had said. Over the past
years, since assuming the position of family head, Levy had become a formidable force, evoking fear in
all who dared to challenge him. The family had once believed they could exert control over him through
his wife, but it now seemed that Sandra might be even more relentless than Levy himself. Her
resilience was akin to poison, making it difficult for them to manipulate her.
As they retired for the night, each member of the Anthony family was left with their own thoughts.
Particularly, the second branch of the family had previously thought they could exploit Levy's wife to
seize power and the position of family head. Yet, after witnessing Sandra's strength, they realized that All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
their plans would be as futile as counting water.
As they headed to their respective rooms, each member of the Anthony family was consumed by their
own thoughts. The second branch, in particular, had always believed they could manipulate Levy's wife
to gain control over the Anthony family's power and position of family head. However, after witnessing
Sandra's presence and strength, they realized it would be as futile as counting water.
Meanwhile, at the Smith family mansion, Stacey was getting ready for university, aiming to maintain her
reputation as the campus belle. On the other hand, Stella was busy plotting how to make Mark Jackson
commit to marrying her. Their parents, uncle, and grandparents were occupied with uncovering the true
owner of Brovard restaurant and hotels, as well as investigating any potential connections between
Levy Anthony and the Anthony family of the capital.
Back in Sandra and Levy's room, Sandra expressed her concerns about not being liked by his family.
She felt cursed, as trouble seemed to follow her wherever she went, even without provocation. Levy
reassured her, emphasizing that her family's opinions didn't matter. As his wife and the head mistress
of the family, she had her rights and his protection. He assured her that no harm would come to her
from his family.
He urged her to focus on school instead of worrying about others. Confirming that she had packed
everything she needed, Sandra asked if Levy would be taking his sister to university. He replied that
her parents would handle it.
The next day, Sandra and Levy woke up early to prepare for the drive to the university. They didn't want
to be late on her first day. The maids had prepared breakfast for them, and as they were nearing the
end of their meal, the members of the Anthony family entered the dining area.
Not waiting for the elders to join, Sandra and Levy continued with their breakfast. However, old woman
Anthony couldn't resist making a comment, questioning when the members of the Anthony family had
started having their meals without the presence of the elders.
Sandra calmly wiped her mouth, took a sip of her juice, and retorted, "Since the day they learned they
have their own mouths and stomachs."
With that, she signaled to Levy that she was done and ready to leave, not wanting to keep her parents
waiting any longer.
She turned around and greeted Levy's parents and sister before leaving the dining room without
acknowledging anyone else. Derek, Levy's cousin, couldn't help but laugh. He wondered what was so
special about this bold girl that she was willing to defy the power of the Anthony family, even without
knowing the extent of their influence. Did Levy disclose the true power of the family to her? If he did,
shouldn't she be currying favor with the elders instead of behaving as if they were inconsequential?
Sandra showed no fear; she remained calm in their presence and acted as if everything was normal.
Grandma Anthony, who felt insulted, couldn't believe her ears. It was the first time she had been
directly disrespected by someone younger and in front of the entire family. It was too much to bear.
Her anger turned towards her elder son and grandson. She chastised them, saying, "Look at the
daughter-in-law and wife you brought into this family. She has no respect for her elders."
Levy interjected, "She is not the granddaughter-in-law you got for us, but rather the one I chose for
myself. Mind you, it was our great-grandparents' dying wish for me to marry her, and you supported
that decision."
"Now that she is my wife, I expect everyone in this family to respect her as you respect me. She is my
wife and is free to do as she pleases. This is her home, and it doesn't matter when she comes home or
where she has her meals."
"She has the same respect as our great-grandparents bestowed upon her, and that makes her
incredibly important to this family. I will take my leave now, as I have to accompany my wife to school.
She may not be coming home frequently, so feel free to enjoy your own space."
With that, Levy bid farewell to his parents and sister, leaving the shocked Anthony family members
behind.
It was the first time Levy Anthony had spoken so boldly and at length, especially for a woman he had
just met and was arranged to marry by the elders. This turn of events surpassed everyone's
expectations. If they had known it would end up like this, they would have ensured he remained single
for the rest of his life. Little did they know they had welcomed a force to be reckoned with into the
family.
